Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Peoria, AZ

The city and surrounding county have an interesting demographical makeup which is affecting the area’s STD rates.

Its diverse population can make it difficult for health officials to reach all residents, especially if there are language barriers involved. Hispanic and Native American residents often find it difficult to trust city and county officials, which is one of the reasons they are among the highest risk groups.

The southwestern community is also extremely conservative, which can make it difficult for there to be any open and honest discussions regarding sex and STDs. This can also cause some residents to feel ashamed, especially if they are seen at a clinic.

A shortage of health care facilities especially in lower income neighborhoods is also contributing to the problem, along with an inability to pay for regular STD screenings. The county also has a unique problem concerning the nearby state prison, where it is more common for inmates to test positive for a sexually transmitted disease than to show up negative.

The lack of sexual education information available is affecting almost all demographical factors, including the high STD rate in the nearby prison. Many inmates are released while carrying a sexually transmitted disease, which puts the public at a greater risk.

Without adequate testing and information on STDs and safe sexual practices available for all residents and inmates officials expect to see the number of infections continue to rise in the city and county.
